J., April 1.-The funeral services over the body of the unidentified girl who was found murdered by the road side here fifteen days ago are being held at the First Presbyterian church on Grand street this afternoon. The Rev. Alfred Gay, the pastor, ohiciates. The coffin plate bears this inscription:
 March 25, 1887,
 Cruelty slain, a woman and stranger,
 Aged about 24 years
 The body was taken to the church at 12:3O and lay in state till the services began. An immense throng of people viewed it. After the service it will be placed in receiving vault in the Railway cemetery which belongs to the church. Ex-Chief Yates of Elizabeth telegraphed Chief Tooker this morning that he will make affidavit that he knew the wo- man, but he has not yet made known who he thinks she may have been. Other people visited Ryno's morgue, but were unable to identify them. Hubbard, the real estate agent who became crazed while breeding over the murder, was taken to the asylum at Morris Plains this morning.

Irish House of Commons Burned.

The foundation-stone of the Irish
Parliament house was laid in 1923 and
the building was finished at a cost of
about $2OO,OOO AS it was found made
quate to contain the Lords and Com
mons, the eastern front. leading to the
House of Lords was in 1855 designed
and executed by Gandon at a cost of
100000. In 1857 the western front and
entrance were added, the design be-
ing furnished by Parke, and the ex-
pense amounting to $4,000. The edi-
fee is nearly of a semi-circular form
and covers an acre and half of ground.
The grand front is l47 feet in breadth,
and for elegance of design is unrivalled.
The fire which occurred in 1892 broke
out between five and six o'clock in the
evening, while Parliament was sitting,
and totally consumed the House OF
Commons. 1t was. however, soon after
rebuilt and fitted up precisely as it had
been before the occurrence. In 1904 an
other fire broke out under the front
portico- supposed to have been started
by an incendiary-which injured the
columns so seriously that large pieces
had to be inserted in many of them.

St. Johns Well.

This we'll is on the South Circular
Road, abut hundred ards from Kill
smainham Jail. The water has certain
medicinal qualities that make 1T much
sought after by persons in delicate
health. We cannot say why it is called
st. Johns Well, except from a tradi-
tion of great antiquity that water taken
from this we'll just before daylight on
the eve of st. Johns day, June "a. will

by hundreds of the citizens of Dublin
and crowds assembled every Esd Of
June just before dawn, equipped with
every conceivable kind of vessel. to
draw the treasured beverage. The we'll
is at some distance below the surface in
recess in the rock and candles have to
be III ed to light the visitors down the
steps. On the hottest day in summer
the water in this we'll is of refreshing
and icy GOODNESS.

Siege of Ballvnafadd.

When the great Confederate rebel
lion of 1641 broke out Ballynafadd, then
a stronghold of some importance, was
held by an English garrison. Sir Ulic
Burke, Hubert Boy Burke, and other
Western Irish leaders invested the
place, and laid vigorous siege to it, but
they had no artillery, and the English
held out for a long time till the Burkes
by bold maneuvre succeeded in cut
ting off their water supply, upon which
the garrison were forced to surrender.
The Burkes in their turn were besieged,
but held the fort till the close of the re-
bellion. During this second siege a
cowardly plot of the English to secure
by bribery the poisoning Of Hubert
Burke, the commandment Of the fort,
was frustrated by keen-witted Ros-
common woman, whose name, unf0r-
tunately, history has not preserved

Antiquity Of the City of Limerick.

sAA>AASAA~A>'
Limerick is undoubtedly one of the old
est cities in Ireland. Ptolemy refers to
itas ''Regia." St. Patrick is said to have
visited it in the 5th century. We have
authentic chronicles of it's occupation
by the Danes in 812, and about the mid
die of the same century they made it
one of their principal maritime sta
tons, surrounding it with walls and
towers which enclose the area which is
now called the English town. Liner
lex has been the scene of many notable
events in Irish history. Murtogh, King
of Munster, made it the seat Of royalty
in 11O6, when he gave Cashel to the
Church, and it continued to be theresa
dence of the Kings of Thomond until
it fell into the hands Of the English,
Murtogh's successors being styled
Kings of Limerick. For decades it
was the scene of battles between the
invaders and the Irish and was in a
perennial state of siege by one or the
other. On the death of Earl Strongbow
it was evacuated by the English and
burned by Donald O'Brien, who de-
clared that it should no longer be nest
for foreigners. A few years after it was
rebuilt and became as important city
as before. In 1916 Edward Bruce held
his court here.

A HUMAN PUMP.

The Wonderful Feat of Darky Who Can

day, and feel none the worse for it. That
is not all either. He can keep it on his
stomach as long as he wants to, and when
ready can without the slightest trouble ex'

A large tin bucket, of at least three
quarts capacity, was produced. 1t was
filed to Overlooking with ,cc- water. The
colored man put his mouth to the rim, and,
without once turning his head, drained
it to the bottom. He then unbuttoned
his vest, and the bucket was again filed.
Again he emptied it,, only stopping
once or twice to loosen his vest to make
room in his stomach for the immense load
of water. The aquatic tiend then did a
couple Of jig steps on the floor, and after
that slop- bucket was given him. He go1
down on his knees in front of it, and the
water came from his mouth in streams.
At first it required only the slightest
effort, but as he progressed he seemed to
have more difficulty in making the water
rise in his throat at his bidding. It was
then that he took hold of one ear, and by
twisting it in much the same manner that
a faucet is turned he managed to bring uI
stream after stream of water. In this way
he worked fully three minutes, and it was
not long until he had expelled from his
stomach every bit of water he had drunk
